54:55
God, the Omnipotent, in His Godhead and Kingdom, has on the one hand, extended such a spacious and extensive universe and has created so many things in it that, jinn and mankind can neither comprehend it, nor can they enumerate the things in it. But the Powerful King (54:55) Himself, on the other hand, has not only folded the heavens and the earth in His blessed Fist (21:104; 39:67), but has also enumerated them all, one by one, in the number one (72:28) in this state, namely, in the luminous Fist. It should be remembered that this supreme miracle of knowledge and recognition takes place in the personal world or the universal heart and mind of the Perfect Man.
O the Exalted God, O the Omniponent Sovereign (54:55)! O the Benevolent King, may my humble soul be sacrificed for the true lovers of your holy light! Although I am only a handful of dust and you are sovereign of the heavens (and earth) and the Holy (and Sacred), yet your glance of generosity and favour is on this dust under the feet of mumins, such that you have exalted him with the friendship of your friends (the pure Imams), in the illumination of the light of whose walayat the treasures of the Quraan can be obtained, Praise be to God!
